Definitions

  • the present invention relates to lime pellets for use in asphalt applications. More particularly, the present invention relates to compositions and methods of manufacturing lime pellets, and methods of using lime pellets in asphalt manufacturing and paving.
  • Asphalt pavements are well-known and have been used for many years.
  • an asphalt pavement includes an aggregate and asphalt cement mixed together in what is commonly referred to as hot mix asphalt (HMA).
  • HMA hot mix asphalt
  • the asphalt cement is a hydrocarbon-rich substance such as, or prepared from, bitumen, and is used to bind the aggregate into a pavement.
  • the type and amount of aggregate can vary, and it provides structural reinforcement and durability to the HMA.
  • the asphalt cement functions as a continuous phase that binds the aggregate materials together, it is well known that various additives such as lime can be used to improve the durability and longevity of asphalt pavements.
  • lime fines have been used in treating HMA ingredients in order to improve the long-term interactions or bonds between the asphalt cement and aggregate.
  • Such improvements have included anti-strip characteristics and reduced deformation or softening of the asphalt pavement over time.
  • These improvements have been obtained by either combining the lime fines with the aggregate or with the asphalt cement before the aggregate and asphalt cement have been prepared into hot mix asphalt. It is thought, without being bound thereto, that lime improves the physical characteristics of the asphalt pavement by inhibiting any absorbed water from softening the pavement, and/or by enhancing the physical interface and bonding between the aggregates and the asphalt cement.
  • the lime fines have been added in bulk to one of the hot mix asphalt ingredients by well-known methodologies and techniques. More particularly, the powdered lime can be supplied by inline injection, or bulk dumping. While favorable asphalt pavement characteristics can be obtained by the current methodologies, problems have arisen from the lime fines clumping or becoming airborne, which jeopardizes the ability to accurately measure or control the amount of lime being used.
  • lime fines to marinate the aggregate has also caused other health-related complications. This is because the powdered lime fines are usually combined with the aggregate and allowed to sit on the ground for weeks or months. As a result, the lime fines have leached into the groundwater and flowed into neighboring aquifers. The presence of lime fines in the water kills fish, and can contaminate drinking water.
  • lime fines has caused problems with manufacturing and construction equipment. Again, this is at least partially a consequence of the small particulate nature of such lime fines (e.g., smaller than 200 mesh), which allows clouds of the particulates to float or circulate around construction sites and asphalt manufacturing facilities.
  • the small particulates eventually deposit on the machinery or equipment and become entrained within joints and other moving parts. The particles cause excessive wear and fatigue, and result in the equipment wearing out prematurely.
  • problems have arisen from the lime fines being sucked into the bags of baghouses so as to foul the bags and render them unusable.
  • the present invention has been developed in response to the present state of the art, and in particular, in response to problems and needs that have not been solved.
  • a hot melt asphalt pellet comprises:
  • the present invention includes a lime pellet for use in asphalt manufacturing.
  • the pellet is comprised of lime fines such as calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2 ) fines and/or calcium oxide (CaO) fines, and an asphalt-compatible binder.
  • the asphalt-compatible binder is mixed with the lime in an amount and disposition sufficient to form a pellet, wherein the pellet is characterized as having a rigid structure with a dimension greater than about 1.5 mm (about 0.05 inch).
  • the lime pellet is compatible with a hot mix asphalt and/or asphalt cement and dissolvable in liquid asphalt.
  • a method of manufacturing of the lime pellet of the first aspect comprises:
  • embodiments of the present invention are directed to the production and use of lime-based pellets for modifying asphalt compositions and pavements.
  • the terminology employed herein is used for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting.
  • fines is meant to refer to the small particulate nature of the lime powders used in hot asphalt mix production. As such, the lime fines are small, finely divided, and light weight particulates that are easily airborne when handled or exposed to minimal air currents.
  • the term "storage-stable” is meant to refer to a physical characteristic that inhibits or prevents a pellet from degrading or combining with adjacent pellets under ambient conditions. That is, when under normal ambient conditions at a normal humidity, the pellets are form-stable. As such, when a plurality of storage-stable pellets are piled in storage, the individual pellets retain their distinct structural integrity without forming an agglomeration of pellets.
  • the lime-based pellets are prepared in a manner that binds lime fines into an asphalt-compatible binder.
  • Embodiments of the methods for manufacturing lime pellets according to the present invention comprise mixing lime with an asphalt-compatible binder such as bitumen, tall oil pitch, lignosulfonate , and subsequently forming pellets in the shape of pastilles, slates, chips, briquettes, or other small forms of the asphalt pavement conditioning and binding product.
  • the resulting pellets are suitable for storage and transportation at a wide range of ambient temperatures because of their rigid and non-flow properties.
  • the pellets can be stored at the production site or at a remote site and can be transported and stored in piles or within containers such as sacks, tanks, and barrels.
  • the ability to store the pellets without degradation or agglomeration permits the accumulation of large quantities of pellets and shipment in large quantities to remote locations.
  • the properties of the various embodiments of lime-based pellets according to the present invention are such that the pellets can effectively be shipped over long distances, such as by transatlantic and transcontinental shipments, by any one of a variety of conventional means, such as rail cars, trucks, ships, and airplane.
  • Properties that facilitate the storage and shipment of the inventive lime-based pellets in large quantities include the rigid, non-sticky, non-aggregating, and non-flow properties that enable handling without the concerns associated with fines or particulates becoming airborne.
  • the individual pellets are storage-stable so as to not agglomerate with adjacent pellets.
  • an individual pellet does not substantially degrade or agglomerate with adjacent pellets for a duration longer than about 30 days, more preferably longer than about 60 days, and most preferably longer than about 90 days.
  • some pellet configurations can be form-stable for longer than about 6 months or longer than about 12 months. As such, when pellets are stored at normal or natural ambient conditions and humidity, the individual pellets retain their form.
  • Some embodiments of lime-based pellets according to the present invention are configured so as to protect asphalt pavement against water-induced detrimental effects, thus preventing or reducing undesirable effects that sometimes occur due to long-term exposure to precipitation such as rain, snow, and/or ice. Also, the pellets can prevent or inhibit oxidative age hardening of the asphalt pavement. Some embodiments of lime-based pellets according to the present invention are provided with components or modifiers that provide the dark or black colored asphalt pavement that is familiar and preferred.
  • the lime-based pellets have a size that prevents them from becoming easily airborne due to wind currents or handling. It has been found that when the pellets are at least larger than 14 mesh so as to not pass therethrough, ease of use and handling greatly increases.
  • the pellets can have a dimension greater than about 1.5 mm (about 0.05 inch) to inhibit or prevent being passed through 14 mesh, more preferably to prevent being passed through 8 mesh, and most preferably to prevent being passed through 4 mesh.
  • the asphalt-compatible binder is comprised of bitumen.
  • Bitumen is a generic term referring to a flammable mixture of various hydrocarbon materials derived naturally or by distillation from petroleum. Usually, bitumen has a dark brown or black color, and can be present in forms that range from sticky and/or viscous oils to brittle solids such as asphalt, tars, and natural mineral waxes. Examples of substances containing bitumen include bituminous coal, tar, pitch, or Engen Bitumen 110-2TM (Engen Petroleum Limited; South Africa).
  • the pellets can include bitumen at general binder concentrations, or at a concentration ranging from about 10% to about 75%, more preferably from about 20% to about 69% or 70%, and most preferably about 25% to about 60% by total weight of the pellets.
  • bitumen at 50% by total weight.
  • the binder can be an asphalt cement
  • asphalt cements are commonly abbreviated with the terms AC-xx.
  • the notation "xx" in the description of AC asphalt represents a numeral related to the asphalt viscosity.
  • Asphalts such as AC-20 and AC-10 are the preferred forms to be used as binders.
  • Other forms of asphalt that are contemplated as constituents in binder formulations include AC-1.75, AC-2.5, AC-5, AC-30, AC-40, AC-80, and AC-120 asphalts.
  • the super pave grading system "PG-xx-xx” e.g., PG-76-22
  • PG-xx-xx can be used to identify asphalt oils, wherein the "xx” notations designate temperatures in Celsius for the performance grade.
  • hydrocarbon-based materials can be used to bind lime fines.
  • hydrocarbon-based materials include heavy crude oil, fuel oil, tall oil pitch.
  • these materials can be added as constituents in asphalt cement formulations or bitumen compositions.
  • tall oil pitch when tall oil pitch is used it can bind the lime fines at about 1% to 20% by weight of the pellet
  • collagen or collagen derivatives can be used as an asphalt-compatible binder.
  • Such collagen derivatives particularly suitable for preparing lime pellets can be obtained from leather production waste, wherein the collagen or derivative thereof has been reduced to polypeptides.
  • the collagen derivatives can include Collagen CH 2 TM (Mars Mineral; Mars, PA).
  • latex in another embodiment, can be used as an asphalt-compatible binder, and/or used as an adhesive additive.
  • the benefits arise from the composition of latex, which includes an emulsion of a synthetic rubber or plastic obtained by polymerization.
  • the benefits may be realized for the same reasons latex is used in coatings, paints, and adhesives.
  • latex can be used within the general binder concentrations.
